    Try it. He'll be so scared he'll look over that address.

    But do make reference to his e-mail as posted by TWJ. That way it's easier to see the link to what he's done. He'll be kicking his arese and write a cry-baby e-mail straight back :D

    BTW if he's not using Gmail (likely with that address) then it's a lot harder to see.

    Remember you can set all these individually:

    $mailheaders = "From: $NAME AdSense Team <$EMAIL>\r\n";
        $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $EMAIL\r\n";
        $mailheaders .= "Return-Path: $EMAIL\n";

    i think reporting the guy to google is letting him off too easy. someone should threaten him and let him have some sleepless nights first before actually sending a report to google :D

    No because in Outlook etc. you won't get to see the address when you set FROM: Adsense Team . You can but have to double click it or view properties.

    Forget the reply email. Spoof it to return back to adwords direct instead. If he actually replied to them he would put his own red flag up to google:)

    I sure hope I'm not bidding on any keywords that show on his site! Keep it clean! Clicks are already hard to convert!

    Wow, he fell for it :p

    What on earth are you referring to?

    There has been no illegal clicks at all - I do not understand your mail - Please enlighten me.

    I have a forum and periodically I send out a news letter to remind people to support the google ads. I do it myself also.

    I would like a breakdown of what I am supposed to have violated. You are required to give me a full explanation. This is just not correct what you are saying and I will not accept it.

    Hmm, how should I reply, should I tell him it was a joke, or should I spoof another email? :p

    Cmon...Spoof another. Take him to task big time on this:

    And warn him that you will be confiscating all earnings. If checks have been paid, they will be responsible for paying that money back

    :D

    Further exploitation of the Adsense program will bring heavier reprecussions.
